Solana Token Creator: Create an SPL Token Without Code

SPL tokens with Metaplex metadata

An SPL token is a token on the Solana blockchain, the role ERC-20 plays on Ethereum. SPL stands for Solana Program Library. Solana has two token programs that follow the SPL standard: the original Token program and the newer Token-2022 program, also called Token Extensions.

Tokenry creates every token on the original Token program and adds Metaplex metadata, the format wallets, explorers and Jupiter read. The name, symbol and metadata link sit in the token's metadata account on Solana. The logo, description, socials and tags sit in a small metadata file, stored permanently on Arweave.

The original Token program has no extensions, so there are no transfer fees or transfer hooks, and every transfer moves the full amount.

Names and symbols use Latin letters, accented ones included, numbers and basic symbols. Every token goes straight to Solana mainnet; to practice first, use Solana's devnet with the command-line tools.

Your own token or a launchpad?

With Tokenry you create a meme coin or community token for one fixed fee. You receive 100% of the supply and choose when and where trading opens. A launchpad sells a new crypto token on a bonding curve, where the price rises as people buy. It usually takes a fee on every trade.

Owning the supply means you decide which DEX hosts the pool, how much goes in, and the opening price. You can remove authorities on your own schedule and airdrop to your community with the Solana multisender.

Mint, freeze and update authority

Revoke mint and freeze authority once your supply is final. Buyers can then see on Solscan that no more tokens can be minted and no holder's tokens can be frozen. Keep update authority only if you plan to change the token's details later. Tokenry's update revoke tool does not support tokens made here yet, so tick that revoke at creation if the details are final.

A token made with Tokenry starts with three authorities you can remove, all held by your wallet. Mint authority creates new supply. Freeze authority can lock any holder's token account. Update authority can edit the name, symbol and metadata link.

Revoking any of them is irreversible, even for your own wallet. Revoking update authority makes the metadata permanent, and explorers then show the System Program, an address nobody controls, as its update authority. When you tick mint authority in the form, it is removed only after the full supply is minted.

After you create it: pool, trading and trackers

A new token cannot be traded until it has a liquidity pool. Pair it with SOL using Tokenry's Solana pool creator, which builds Raydium CPMM or Meteora DAMM v2 pools. You deposit both tokens as liquidity, and that deposit stays yours unless you choose to lock it.

Tokenry's fees for the token and its first liquidity pool total 0.25 SOL (0.15 SOL to create it, 0.1 SOL for the pool), plus rent and network fees. A Meteora pool adds about 0.017 SOL of rent. A CPMM pool instead adds the DEX's own 0.15 SOL creation fee plus about 0.03 SOL of rent.

Jupiter lists new CPMM and DAMM v2 pools automatically and keeps routing to them while they hold enough liquidity. DexScreener lists the token once the pool has its first trade.
